| czajkowski | moylan: hiya | 09:08 |
| moylan | czajkowski: hope the tooth is sorted soon! | 09:08 |
| czajkowski | me too | 09:09 |
| czajkowski | feckin annoying | 09:09 |
| moylan | constant grinding annoyance. it amazes how it can drive you bonkers. hope you have good pain killers. | 09:09 |
| slashtom | morning czajkowski | 09:16 |
| slashtom | how is battling the british medical system going? | 09:16 |
| czajkowski | entertaining | 09:17 |
| czajkowski | may just give up and go private dentist | 09:17 |
| slashtom | i thought they were all private dentists in .uk | 09:18 |
| slashtom | well mostly | 09:18 |
| czajkowski | nope | 09:18 |
| czajkowski | most near me are nhs | 09:18 |
| slashtom | very few NHS and don't expect great service | 09:18 |
| czajkowski | but cant register with them as dont have nhs number due to mess up at gp services | 09:18 |
| slashtom | most people in britain use private dentists | 09:18 |
| moylan | very few nhs dentists though. queue can be huge from what i heard. | 09:18 |
| slashtom | but still get your GP registration sorted, as it will be hard getting other medical services without that | 09:19 |
| czajkowski | yup | 09:19 |
| czajkowski | I'm registed there but they didnt send the form somwehere | 09:19 |
| czajkowski | which is the hold up on me having a nhs number | 09:19 |
| slashtom | hope you're enjoying living in the past ;) | 09:21 |
| czajkowski | mutters | 09:21 |
| moylan | slashtom: you haven't dealt with irish system! :-) | 09:21 |
| czajkowski | soo frustrating | 09:21 |
| czajkowski | moylan: irish system a lot easier | 09:21 |
| slashtom | moylan: i go private ;) | 09:21 |
| czajkowski | moylan: you cna go to any gp | 09:21 |
| czajkowski | over here I've to show proof of where I live in the area to atten 1 gp | 09:22 |
| slashtom | and when i did see a GP, i just turned up and paid my €70 | 09:22 |
| moylan | i go private for dentist too. my dentist is flippin genius. no pain whatsoever! | 09:22 |
| slashtom | aye, i have a great eastern european girl to work on my teeth | 09:22 |
| czajkowski | slashtom: 70 is very steep | 09:22 |
| czajkowski | usually betweet 45-55 | 09:22 |
| slashtom | it was a weekend iirc | 09:23 |
| czajkowski | gp in dublin was 45 | 09:23 |
| czajkowski | gp in limerick is 50 | 09:23 |
| czajkowski | slashtom: hh that wuld be why so | 09:23 |
| slashtom | did you use a gp in dublin 7? | 09:23 |

| czajkowski | yup tis grand very helpful | 09:24 |
| czajkowski | and good at squeezing folks in | 09:24 |

| slashtom | dr mullan? | 09:24 |
| czajkowski | there are a few in there | 09:25 |
| czajkowski | not sure | 09:25 |
| slashtom | ah | 09:25 |
| slashtom | okies | 09:25 |
| slashtom | we need to wander up that way, and get some fancy beer from the fancy off-licence in stoneybatter | 09:26 |
| slashtom | british beer, i would add... it's the *only* thing i miss | 09:26 |
| * slashtom welcomes ebel with a latte | 09:27 | |
| ebel | o/ | 09:27 |
| czajkowski | slashtom: I miss saussages sooo much over here | 09:28 |
| czajkowski | have found richmond irish ones | 09:28 |
| czajkowski | but they're no where near as nice as galtee or superquinn ones | 09:28 |
| moylan | nothing like irish pork sausages! | 09:28 |
| czajkowski | moylan: EXACTLY | 09:29 |
| czajkowski | over here they are all friggign full of herbes | 09:29 |
| czajkowski | so wrong | 09:29 |
| moylan | the scots do a sausage in a can that is devine though! | 09:29 |
| moylan | maybe an independent butcher makes proper sozzies. | 09:31 |
| czajkowski | nope | 09:32 |
| czajkowski | longer larger all variations of herbs | 09:32 |
| czajkowski | trust me I've looked | 09:32 |
| czajkowski | :s | 09:32 |
| czajkowski | mate is over in March | 09:32 |
| czajkowski | coming with rashers and saussages | 09:32 |
| * czajkowski misses Galtee! | 09:32 | |
| moylan | when i was in london in 80s i remember some shops sold galtee products. weren't cheap though. large irish market. | 09:33 |
| ebel | they probably sell polish sausages now :P | 09:33 |
| ebel | there's bound to be some expat shops. | 09:33 |
| moylan | every time we traveled there, went with box of tayto under arm too! :-) | 09:33 |
| czajkowski | I dont mind the crisps | 09:34 |
| czajkowski | decent enough selection | 09:34 |
| czajkowski | but damn it I just want my bacon!!! | 09:34 |
| ebel | we're still sending boxes of taytos to australia, even though they moved out 15 years ago | 09:34 |
| moylan | not a fan of british crisps. heard that even china now has started importing irish food. | 09:34 |
| czajkowski | kettle crisps yummy | 09:35 |
| ebel | ireland is one of the largest exporters of beef etc | 09:35 |
| ShaneM | I haven't had breakfast yet! T_T | 09:35 |
| * slashtom likes taytos! | 09:35 | |
| moylan | not just beef. irish crisps and other assorted processed foods. they seem to like the flavours. | 09:35 |
| ebel | http://www.worldmapper.org/display.php?selected=49 this is a cartogram of meat exporters. we're literally a giant | 09:35 |
| czajkowski | I can get irish chicken fillets | 09:36 |
| czajkowski | :o | 09:36 |
| moylan | have lidl irish pork sausages in fridge. will have to cook them tonight. :-) | 09:36 |
| moylan | sizzle! | 09:36 |
| czajkowski | moylan: oi meanie!!! | 09:36 |
| ShaneM | Hey what's the story with ilug? Is no one actively updating it anymore? I'm pretty sure this has been asked before.... | 09:36 |
| czajkowski | slashtom: ask in #linux on irc.linux.ie | 09:37 |
| czajkowski | :) | 09:37 |
| czajkowski | ShaneM: ^^^^^^6 | 09:37 |
| ebel | ShaneM: what do you mean exactly? | 09:37 |
| ShaneM | Yerrrrr,will drop in later. | 09:37 |
| ebel | mailing list is a good place to ask | 09:37 |
| moylan | there are enough people travelling to the uk that it should be easy to arrange a constant delivery line. smuggling sausages to the uk. i remember in the 70s a relative who flew to the states with most of a pig in her luggage. | 09:37 |
| ShaneM | ebel: Yeah the mailing list is active, but the site looks derelict. | 09:37 |
| slashtom | that's geek UI design | 09:38 |
| ShaneM | linux.ie would be the first place that new users go in ireland and they find a site that looks dead. ... doesn't really make sense to me @_@ | 09:38 |
| czajkowski | ShaneM: it's been under revew for some time, but they like it that basic | 09:39 |
| ShaneM | czajkowskI: Yeah I remember someone mentioning it before. | 09:39 |
| ShaneM | Just wondered what the situation was with it. | 09:39 |
| ShaneM | czajkowski: Did you find someone good for that job in the end? :) | 09:48 |
| czajkowski | ShaneM: we hired about 4 I think | 09:50 |
| czajkowski | still hoping to hire more in a few months time for our new offices | 09:50 |
| ShaneM | Excellent :) | 09:50 |
| ShaneM | ....I ask someone what software packages they want me to install to show them how to use them and they ask me to install powerpoint.... | 09:52 |
| ShaneM | That's the definition of bad communication right there. | 09:53 |
| moylan | shanem: no biggie. just ask for them to pay for the licence _or_ give them libre office for free. works 90% of the time i encounter that. | 09:55 |
| czajkowski | ShaneM: problem is people associate a word with an item | 09:57 |
| czajkowski | like one hoovers things | 09:57 |
| czajkowski | when in reality you vaccum someting | 09:57 |
| czajkowski | it's a term they associate something with | 09:57 |
| ebel | Install LibreOffice, tell them that's the name for Powerpoint in Ubuntu :P | 09:57 |
| ShaneM | I thought I was being clear when I said "What dev libraries do you want me to bring". xD | 09:58 |
| ebel | Most people don't think "Powerpoint = that software from MS." they think "Powerpoint = the thing that lets me make slides and presentations" | 09:58 |
| moylan | the quick guide to user knowledge level is 'what browser do they use?' | 09:58 |
| ebel | moylan: "I use the Googles" | 09:59 |
| moylan | then give them a yoyo and install libre office without informing them! :-) | 09:59 |
| ebel | Deffo, | 10:00 |
| ebel | Most people don't know what 'presentation software' is. they will say "powerpoint" instead. | 10:00 |
| ebel | Mostly they don't want "MS Powerpoint", they want "Some Presentation Software" | 10:01 |
| moylan | most of my customers don't know powerpoint, they just tknow that there are emails that can't be opened. | 10:01 |
| moynihan | not strictly on topic, but I'm finding it a wee bit difficult to find answers on this | 11:02 |
| moynihan | does anyone know if the jokosher project is dead? | 11:02 |
| ebel | 'ello moynihan | 11:02 |
| ebel | moynihan: if you hadn't cut off your hair, you'd know this :P | 11:03 |
| ebel | moynihan: though about jokosher I dunno | 11:03 |
| ebel | (I really should !CoC myself for that comment though) | 11:03 |
| ebel | !coc | ebel | 11:03 |
| lubotu3 | ebel, please see my private message | 11:03 |
| ebel | moynihan: the launchpad code repositoty (https://code.launchpad.net/~jokosher-code/jokosher/main) shows some activity this year... but not a lot | 11:07 |
| moynihan | yea any of the contact links on the site are broken | 11:09 |
| ebel | yeah i see some broken links aswell | 11:10 |
| moynihan | I havent read the CoC, but I'm assuming swearing in here wont be hugely well received | 11:10 |
| ebel | !coc | 11:10 |
| lubotu3 | The Ubuntu Code of Conduct is a community etiquette document to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere, and can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/ . For information on how to electronically sign the CoC, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SigningCodeofConduct . | 11:10 |
| moynihan | hence the fact I didnt reply to your comment on my appearance :) | 11:11 |
| ebel | moynihan: basically "don't be mean and be helpful" (my initial comment was *ahem* less than helpful :) ) | 11:11 |
| ebel | not all software needs to be actively developed all the time. just cause something hasn't been updated in 5 years doesn't mean it's useless. | 11:11 |
| moynihan | yea slighty | 11:12 |
| moynihan | well tbh i was kinda hopin to get involved and help em out | 11:12 |
| ebel | jokosher might work fine for what you or others need. that's the more relevant question... | 11:12 |
| moynihan | (incidentally wouldnt it have been funny if I wasnt who you thought I was) | 11:12 |
| ebel | I did check that it was you, just to make sure :P | 11:13 |
| ebel | well you can still get involved, even if it is 'dead' | 11:13 |
| ebel | in fact it can be a good learning experience. there's a lot to do, and bound to be ex-active-developers you can ask for help. | 11:14 |
| moynihan | yea, problem is that literally every page on the site with info on what they're lookin for, including their docs wiki is dead... | 11:15 |
| ebel | look at the outstanding bugs? | 11:16 |
| ebel | Start using it yourself and see what you wished it did? | 11:16 |
| moynihan | well i do use it, tbh as well you know I'm not much of a coder, so i was kinda hopin to do some grunt work as a learning experience | 11:18 |
| moynihan | suppose open bugs're the way to go | 11:18 |
| tdr112 | morning | 11:18 |
| moynihan | on the subject of actually contributing, is there anything the loco team needs that I can help out with | 11:31 |
| moynihan | ? | 11:32 |
| ebel | :) | 11:32 |
| czajkowski | are ubuntu-ie holding a bug jam this year ? | 11:33 |
| ebel | everything from running and organising events, to working on our website, to contributing to the loco directory, etc. | 11:33 |
| ebel | czajkowski: when's it on? | 11:33 |
| czajkowski | http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/global/567/detail/ | 11:33 |
| ebel | hmmm | 11:38 |
| ebel | we haven't anything planned | 11:41 |
| * ebel adds to the irc meeting | 11:42 | |
| ebel | our meetings have been taking a while recently | 11:43 |
| ebel | reminds me of the People's Front of Judea always having meetings :) | 11:47 |
| moynihan | SPLITTER | 11:48 |
| * slashtom sees the agenda for tomorrow's meeting | 13:55 | |
